Brandon Barash has welcomed baby No. 2 with wife Isabella Devoto, his third overall, amid his custody battle with ex-wife Kirsten Storms.
“The heart is indeed a muscle, and boy, can it stretch,” Barash, 46, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, June 16, alongside photos of his family with the newborn. “We welcomed our newest addition, Sebastian Antonio Barash (Antonio after Isa’s dad), on 6.5.26.”
The Days of Our Lives alum continued, “Lil Seba, I vow to love you with undying ferocity and without condition. As for our new family of five, we have all already evolved for the better as we rise like the lotus through the muck of sleepless nights, soul-tingling baby whimpers, and yes, poopy diapers. These babies teach us a clinic on love … all we need to do is saddle up, be still, and take ’em in.”
Barash concluded by giving a shout-out to his wife, whom he married in 2022.
“@isa_barash you’re my hero. Thank you for the gift of your love. House is full, hearts fuller,” he wrote.
Barash and Devoto also share son Joaquin, 2. The soap opera star and Storms, 42, share daughter Harper, 12. Both of Barash’s older children were featured in the photos celebrating Sebastian’s arrival.
Barash’s baby news comes amid a tense legal battle with Storms, whom he divorced in 2016 after three years of marriage. He filed for custody of Harper in December 2025. In April, Barash also filed for an emergency restraining order against his former General Hospital costar amid concerns for her mental health. A judge granted the request after Barash claimed that he feared for their daughter’s well-being.
Barash claimed in his court paperwork that his concerns began after he and Storms both moved to Tennessee to coparent Harper after their divorce. Storms’ landlord later sued her for eviction. “Instability with housing” became a “recurring theme” for the actress, according to the docs obtained by TMZ.
Barash also claimed that he loaned Storms $5,000 when her car was about to be repossessed and had not yet received repayment.
Additionally, he recalled an alleged incident in May 2025 when Storms told him she was “experiencing delusions and hallucinations” and “didn’t think she should have the child for her parenting time.” Storms later allegedly claimed that people were breaking into her apartment, removing things and placing them into her car to “mess with her.” He further alleged that a friend of Storms told him the actress had been abusing Adderall and potentially other substances.
Storms addressed the legal drama with her ex in a social media update earlier this month.
“Moving to Tennessee, as a single mom who lives alone 50 [percent] of the time, with a newly discovered brain aneurysm … well, I don’t think I need to explain how upsetting this entire situation has been for me,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories on June 7. (Her brain aneurysm was discovered in January 2025.)
Storms continued, “Realizing that not only was my apartment/space/privacy being violated, but this person also gained access to my WiFi and cellphone. I haven’t been online much because of how the circumstances have been twisted into something that it shouldn’t be. This has been a very serious thing for me to go through.”
